Not a theist, so I'm not defending the potential existence of "my god".

Lack of evidence, however, doesn't always mean something doesn't exist or hasn't happened. If John killed Jake and destroyed or hid the evidence, and based on that wasn't found guilty, that doesn't mean that he didn't do it. It simply means no substantial evidence has been found to prove it (yet).

If you want to take your example further, it's quite possible to find out years or decades later that drug is in fact harmful, it just took time for the side-effects to show, or rather we simply didn't have the right technology to come to that conclusion earlier. (Though far less likely for this scenario to happen with modern science.)

Also, the existence of science or established set of natural laws, and absence of supernatural does not rule out existence of an uninvolved or uncaring creator.

And isn’t that exactly what I’m saying about god’s existence?

That it isn’t definite or absolute proof, but it is evidence?
